This Week's Runs, May 6-12

This past Tuesday I went on a run with Bobby that was ones of my favorite in a long time. We ran the scenic paths of Rock Run Forest Preserve. Here's our route. We path ed our a nautilus shell route. There were so many cool backdrops and the birds singing all made it a very enjoyable run. Here are the numbers.
  • Distance - 5.1 miles
  • Time - 39:50
  • Pace - 7:48ppm
  • Mile 1 - 8:30
  • M2 - 8:44
  • M3 - 7:33
  • M4 - 6:35
  • M5 - 8:26

    On Saturday I decided to take my legs on a Plainfield Farm Run. Below is a very rough video of my run around 2.5 miles. The sunset was so colorful and the video doesn't do it justice. My pace was slowed by the Chipotle that I had eaten earlier, I finished pacing around 8:00 miles. It was not my best run, but it still was solid and beneficial. Here are the stats for Saturday's run:

  • Distance - 8.3 Miles
  • Time - 67:27
  • Pace - 8:07ppm
  • Mile 1 - 8:55
  • M2 - 7:39
  • M3 - 8:10
  • M4 - 8:00
  • M5 - 8:07
  • M6 - 8:26
  • M7 - 7:44
  • M8 - 7:45
  • M.3 - 2:37
Well its official, I'll be running the Soldier Field 10 Mile again this year  on Saturday May 26. Last year I finished in 1 hour 11 minutes. So that is going to be my goal. I feel I still have some work to do. My goal is to stay vigilant and work as hard as I can over the next 2 weeks.
